Description
Participation in multilateral agreements and organisations like North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the World Trade Organization, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the European Union covers not just trade in goods, but also the movement of nationals across borders. This session will discuss how countries integrate these agreements into their own immigration systems and how these agreements are enforced when member countries fail to live up to their obligations.
